AN Press conference - CANCELLED

[genewolf]

Better than wallowing. He’s going and we need a good replacement.

There are other managers out there who could do a good job.

No point wallowing at all. Neil can get f*****. Onwards and upwards.

Cauldron of hate, tomorrow

Cauldron of love. I love Sunderland, not Alex Neil.

Stewart is a key player. You have to keep hold of him.

Rumours bid has come in and we were considering it.

Will we have ‘Confessional’ from all of those that said it was bollix and accused posters of “bed-wetting”?

I won’t hold my breath.

I didn’t believe this until it sunk in that ‘he’s in a car heading for Stoke’.

Agreed.

I won’t hold my breath.

That’s certainly the only thing worth worrying about

 

[Get Into Em]

Still in shock. Cannot believe he’d do this.

It’s worse than Sam Allardyce because at least we could respect his ambition. Stoke isn’t about ambition, it’s just a longer term contract and a bigger salary.

Feel sorry for the players, they’ve been stabbed in the back

Exactly this. Fuck him.

 

[Grumpy Old Man]

Obviously if he doesn't want to sign a long term contract, then there's nothing the club can do about it. Do you think that's what happened at Sunderland?

I reckon a long term contract at the going championship rate would have been accepted. Obviously I wasn't involved in discussions though.

If, as rumoured, he wanted total control of transfers as part of it, the club would never agree.

 

[rapscallion]

He's done the Defoe on us

 

[Raccoon]

If he has moved for a bigger salary you can’t really blame him. Being a manager is just a job at the end of the day. Most people on here would jump ship if they were getting a significant pay rise

 

[burchmackem]

you'd think years of following this club would make you immune to it!?

You'd think. I mean, anytime anything good happens, I have this nagging concern, but this time felt different. Should've known better. Balls.

 

[Nelson!]

Rumours bid has come in and we were considering it.

That’s hopefully just people jumping to conclusions and making things up. It would make sense in terms of how quickly Neil seems to have fucked us off.

Certainly, but it's the timing of it, isn't it?

 

[SAFC_Jack]

If, as rumoured, he wanted total control of transfers as part of it, the club would never agree.

He also said in a conference that he has final say and that he was happy with the process.

Sounds like a smokescreen.

And nor should it.

More Bent than Bent

 

[Deleted member 13050]

2 sides to every story; nobody blameless etc etc. Still annoying.

 

[Bamber]

Far too many variables to start branding him as anything. We really don’t know whats happened,

 

[Sidewinder2]

Is that the same Fishpaste who wrote an article trying to defend Di Canio's fascist beliefs whilst he was here? Also the same one who reckoned that Dortmund were signing Ji to play in the Marco Reus role?

Yes

And the same one who did nothing but slag off journalists whilst desperately trying to be one, blokes a bellend.

 

[VoxPop]

Had there been a press conference then?

 

[banburysafc]

I'm over this already to be honest. Get a replacement in quickly, looks like this has been premeditated by Neil, somewhat understandably if the family thing etc is true but the timing is shocking. Fuck him.
